Step 2 Cut two strips of the metallic red corrugated paper
across the stripes of the sheet, they should be 2 inches higher than the footed
plate. Connect them to get one long piece that will fit around the rim of the
footed plate with an overlap of at least 2 inches. The best way to connect them
is to turn them over, bring their ends together without an overlap and then to
attach a wide masking tape.

Step 3 You should use a symmetrical lace strip as shown in the
photo and glue one side along
the inner side of the corrugated strip.

Step 4 Turn the corrugated paper strip over and fold the
lace outwards.

Step 5Fit the corrugated paper strip around the footed plate and
secure the ends with a staple or glue.

Step 6Cut another strip of corrugated paper high enough and long
enough to fit your plant’s pot plus 2 inches overlap in the length.

Step 7 Attach lace strip as in step 3.

Step 8 Place a plate of a diameter that fits your plant’s pot on top the footed plate .

Step 9 Place the corrugated paper stripe around the plate and
secure ends with glue or a staple. The plate will keep the paper ring in a circular shape.

Step 10 Tie ribbons around each ring.
Stick a plastic pin into the center of each bow and then stick into the paper rings to hold in place. Decorate with bells.

Step 11 Decorate the plant with glass birds and bell shaped cut
outs made of metallic gold
corrugated paper as shown or use any other decorative golden paper of your
choice.

If you use this centerpiece as a wishing tree, make another
bell shaped cutout from a plain cardstock, attach it to the double sided tape
on the back of the first bell to cover the golden string and write your
wishes on the back.

Step 12 Place the plant with its pot onto the plate inside the
corrugated paper ring.

Step 13 Fill space between the two corrugated paper rings with
candies of your choice.
